Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of new energy commercial vehicles, and particularly relates to a method for evaluating the motor performance and the vehicle power performance of an electric drive axle light truck model. Background Art

[0002] As the main force in transportation, the green development of light trucks is an inevitable trend in the industry. It is particularly important to comprehensively explore new energy technology routes such as pure electric, hybrid, and hydrogen fuel cell. For multiple market segments such as municipal sanitation, urban construction and muck transportation, short-distance towing, and high-speed towing, different application scenarios have different technical requirements for vehicles. Among them, the pure electric technology route is relatively easy to implement and has a high maturity. Multiple drive schemes can be adopted. The direct drive scheme can quickly achieve "converting from fuel to electricity", but it has a low power density and a large volume and is in a decline period; the single-reduction scheme is used in light trucks, small trucks, and micro-truck models due to its advantages in terms of self-weight and efficiency; the motor + AMT transmission scheme can handle complex working conditions and is mainly applied to medium and heavy truck models, and some are applied to light trucks; the electric drive axle is similar to the single-reduction technology scheme, reducing the assembly mounts, drive shafts, etc., with a high integration degree, and is applied to urban working conditions with relatively good working conditions. The new energy light truck market is highly competitive, and users have strong demands in terms of cost and performance. Therefore, when developing the powertrain system, it is necessary to consider both power performance and economy. When the powertrain system adopts the electric drive axle scheme, it can reduce costs and weight while meeting the vehicle power performance, and is also beneficial to the vehicle layout.
